This top-floor one-bedroom flat is offered chain-free, making it a straightforward buy for a first-time purchaser or investor. The private rear balcony looks across Eversley Park, giving a leafy outlook and extra outdoor space without garden maintenance. The living room is light and opens onto the balcony; the kitchen and bathroom are functional and ready to use. The combi boiler provides mains gas heating and hot water.
Practical running costs include a modest service charge (£974pa) and very low ground rent (£10pa). Council Tax is in Band A, so occupiers will benefit from one of the cheaper bands locally. Off-street communal parking and communal gardens add convenience for residents and visitors. Pitsea Station is about 0.8 miles away with direct trains to London, and local schools and shops are within easy walking distance.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, which will affect mortgage availability for some buyers and will need consideration by purchaser and lender. The apartment is compact at approximately 345 sq ft, best suited for a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor rather than someone needing larger accommodation. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may influence long-term capital growth and should be factored into any investment decision.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance starter home or rental opportunity that benefits from a park-facing balcony, good transport links and no onward chain, but buyers should be aware of the shortish lease length and the neighbourhood classification when assessing suitability.
